The full specification below is extracted from Chapter 12: "Public Health Communication".
Type: microsim
**sim-id:** sift-flowchart<br/>
**Library:** p5.js<br/>
**Status:** Specified
Draw a vertical flowchart with four colored step boxes: S (Stop – red), I (Investigate the Source – orange), F (Find Better Coverage – yellow), T (Trace Claims – green). Each box is clickable. On click, a right-side panel shows: (1) step name and acronym, (2) a definition (2 sentences), (3) how-to guidance (3 bullet points), and (4) a worked COVID-19 misinformation example for that step. Between steps, brief connector arrows labeled with decision questions ("Is the source familiar and trusted?", etc.) guide users through the logic. A top input box labeled "You encounter a health claim online" triggers the flowchart. A "Start Over" button resets. Color coding consistent throughout.
